Referring in detail to the drawing, 5

A ring'or annulus 9 is looselydisposed Withinthe tube body 5 an d isprovided with fla -transverse threaded opening 10. The wall of the-{tubebody 5 is also-provided with an opening. 11 through which the shank of aset .screxv mis adapted to be inserted, said screw being threaded intothe opening in the eolhirQ.
